Will a 'hair-raising moment' from this World Cup inspire future footballers?

The impact of the FIFA Women's World Cup on Australia's future footballers is tangible, healthy - and it's already playing out at local community clubs. This Women's World Cup is the first to be held in the southern hemisphere, and is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Focus and inspiration is running hot, on show at the inaugural Lisa De Vanna Cup in Western Australia.
